Hello Peter,
Most interested to read your e-mail and although I can not directly assist
you in tracking back before Thomas Catley m Ann Banks 1823, I have other
info which may help you in "expanding your Cat*ley tree" a bit further
sideways.
Situation: having got as far back as is possible on my own Cattley tree
many years ago now, I turned my attention to looking at "other Cattleys" in
an effort to attempt to identify just how many there are still in existence
and maybe join some together including my own.
In the event I managed to identify some 7 other Trees, long before I went PC
etc etc by the simple pen and ink snailmail method.
I have one of them that I have entitled "William Cattley of Tadcaster b
1827" which covers 4 generations and encompasses 29 names.
It is obvious from your e-mail that this William is your William m Fanny
Bickerdike 1823.
I will contact you direct on this one asap.
Regards Tim

Subject: [CAT...] Cattleys of Riccall & Escrick
Hello, everyone. I am researching the origins of my gg grandfather,
Thomas
Cat(t)ley.
Thomas Catley (note the single 't') and Ann Banks married in 1823 in
Escrick, Yorkshire, a short distance from Riccall where they spent most of
the rest of their lives . Ann died in 1878 aged 93.
The children of Thomas & Ann were:
John Cattley (1825-1905), born in Thorganby, Yorkshire, but spent most of
his working life as an agricultural labourer in Riccall. He married Sarah
Walker (1825-1881) and they had at least 6 children, my paternal
grandmother
being one.
My paternal grandmother was Ann Elizabeth Swinbank nee Cattley. She was
born
in Riccall in 1856 and died in Lincoln in December 1944. Her brother
Joseph
had 4 children, and one of them, Marjorie (Madge) became the
assistant
registrar at Selby. Another brother, John, a joiner by trade, worked for
the
firm of Cattley, Ernest in York.
Thomas & Ann had another child born in 1825 (possibly a twin sister for
John): Mary, who married Mark Rennison of Riccall at St Crux, York in
1843.
She died in 1902.
Thomas & Ann's youngest child was William (1827-1899) who married Fanny
Bickerdike of Bramham and had 3 children: Louis (1859), Herbert (1861),
and
Irvine (1867). William was a blacksmith, later a railway engine
fitter,
and
latterly lived at 6 Buckingham Terrace York.
Any information as to the origins of Thomas Catley would be appreciated.
Regards to all.
Peter Swinbank
